8vo; laminated pictorial boards; pp. 469 + (ii), incl. index; maps and tables. Fine condition. "The debate about land reform can take place meaningfully only when the historic course of events of land distribution in South Africa is taken into account. Disputed Land offers a thorough overview of the origin and course of the problem with land tenure in southern Africa from 1652 to 2011. . The role of particularly legislation and commissions of investigation in the development of South Africa's land policy is highlighted. . Louis Changuion and Bertus Steenkamp ask the question whether land reform by means of expropriation is indeed feasible or necessary. Are there other ways to rectify the imbalance and can the white, brown and Asian population groups claim that the land also belongs to them?".
